Is it good to be rich, or is it good to be poor?
Being rich gives comfort. You don’t worry about food, medicine, or a place to live. But money cannot buy joy, peace, or love. A big house without kindness is still empty.
Being poor is not good by itself. Hunger and sickness are real pain. But sometimes poor people show the strongest spirit—sharing even when they have little, staying strong, keeping hope alive. Still, poverty should not be praised, because no one should have to suffer.
There is a story of a rich man who lived in luxury but ignored a poor man at his gate. After their lives ended, the rich man went to hell, while the poor man was carried into heaven. But this does not mean every rich person is lost or every poor person is saved. The rich man was judged because his heart was closed. The poor man found peace because he trusted through his suffering. What counts is the heart—not the size of the wallet.
The message is simple: the real treasure is not money but spiritual riches—love, kindness, faith, and hope. Living this way is how we lay up treasures in heaven, treasures that can never be stolen or destroyed. The real question is not if you are rich or poor, but if your heart is open, humble, and full of care.
Life is like music: not always loud, not always soft. The best song comes when high and low notes play in harmony.
